Natalie Ventilla

Natalie Ventilla is a Scottish Shiatsu Practitioner and Children's Workshop Facilitator. Mak the Dragon is her first book, written to introduce children to the self-care practises that she has found inspiring and helpful to the lives of her clients and her children. Natalie began her career in body therapies in 2013, studying at The Australian College of Massage and furthering her studies at The Glasgow School of Shiatsu in 2015. Natalie's workshops are a mixture of imaginative play, meditation, acupressure and mindful movement. Educating children with acupressure points, exercises and tools for self regulation. All whilst having fun.

As a Mother of three children, Natalie understands the stressors on both children and their caregivers. In schools, nurseries, community groups and at home. She believes that the practises she shares in her workshops and now also in her children's book can help to bring moments of balance and calm to help with this.
